For your Electric Vehicle (E.V.),
choosing the right tires is a must.
Here are some tips to consider when
selecting tires suitable for you.
These elements are helpful when
choosing car tires for both electric and
regular cars. 
However, electric vehicles differ
significantly from traditional cars
since they require special attention.
E.V. drivers should consider all the
cars’ elements by having the correct
charging equipment and considering
the best E.V. tires.
Most vehicles are equipped with tires
including a spare (the same goes for
E.V. models), but it is important to
note that tires wear and tear as time
goes by, and you’ll likely have to
change them after 3-4 years.
To ensure that your electric car tires
can hold to your driving habits, here
are some things you need to know and
consider:
1. Mass and Torque  
Electric vehicles are heavier than
conventional cars due to the extra
weight of the battery. 
According to experts, E.V.’s are 30
percent heavier than regular
combustion engine vehicles. Drivers
must consider this added weight in
purchasing tires. Heavier vehicles
increase the pressure placed on the
tires, the sidewalls especially.
E.V.s are also capable of nearly instant
torque. These strenuous vehicles
require the best E.V. tires to
accommodate their needs. E.V.
owners should purchase tires for E.V.s
that are highly durable and sustain
wear and tear because of the instant
torque the vehicle is capable of. 
An electric car's tire treads should
maintain their grip and contact on the
road.
2. Resistance  
Certain types of tires support the
battery range of your E.V. by reducing
the rolling resistance, which also
makes for a noiseless ride. 
Your battery will last longer the less
resistance your vehicle has on the
road. This will allow you to drive a
longer distance with every charge.

3. Driving habits  
The style of your driving impacts your
tire. This affects the lifespan of your
E.V. tire and, by extension, your tire
selection process. E.V. owners may
take things slower and easier, but you
might be heavy-footed on those gas
pedals if you are an owner of sportier
EV models.
If you are heavy-footed, consider
sturdier tires that can endure your
E.V.’s increased acceleration. 
Taking into account that E.V.s are
capable of instant torque, tires wear
out quicker than those of traditional
cars. Having good driving habits not
only keeps you safe but extends the
life of your electric car’s tires.
Do not speed up when there is no
need to. Decrease the amount of sharp
turns you take. Use regenerative
braking for your benefit. Observe
some of these tips, and you might see
a significant change in the lifespan of
your car’s tires.
4. Season  
When you live in a tropical place
where it is warm all year round, you
might not worry about this factor. 
Driving in places where snow or icy
roads are prevalent is a different
matter altogether. Purchasing tires
that are suitable for cold weather will
be beneficial.
Some E.V. drivers purchase a different
set of tires for different seasons, one
during the warmer seasons and the
other during the winter. 
According to experts, some all-season
tires and specifically summer tires are
not fit for driving during winter in
areas where roads are slippery. Tesla
and B.M.W. offer tires designed
specifically for winter driving.
Finding the best E.V. tires for your
vehicle  There are different choices
available for E.V. drivers in choosing
the best electric car tires for you that
are specifically made for your electric
vehicle.
